Welcome to CYCI38! At canyoucaseit.com, we have Designer's Choice happening this next week.

I actually did this design for my stamp club last week, but I had used only Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral on my club card version. The ladies at my club started using different colors and it just makes the neon effect that much better!

I chose the card on the upper right side of page 55 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog because I wanted to try my new Kraft cardstock and I liked the angle of the card layers. I also wanted to try some of my Holiday catalog goodies!

Last evening, I had the pleasure of attending the Portland area Stampin' Up! Unite & Excite demonstrator event with about 75 very talented demonstrators. It was a fun filled evening (starting with dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory with 49 of my new friends)!

There was swapping, display boards and lots of information sharing. Oh, and the prize at the end was spectacular!

Here is a group picture of a part of our group. From left to right: Vicki Johnson, Kate Neely, Laura Howell, me and Heidi Boos (thanks Heidi for the picture!).

We were fortunate to have Andrea from Stampin' Up! join us. We made cards for her and surprised her at the start of the event with a big basketful. This was my card for Andrea:

Of course, there was swapping. I came away with some very beautiful cards (and new ideas). Here was my swap card:

This week at canyoucaseit.com we are having a color challenge using Pear Pizzazz, Lost Lagoon and Smoky Slate.

I've had the Postage Due Stamp Set for awhile and needed to get it out and play. I thought this challenge was the perfect opportunity. I like the vintage look this set gives. It just begs for layers and depth.

For this card I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

Pear Pizzazz, Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate and Whisper White Cardstock

Postage Due Stamp Set

That's the Ticket Stamp Set

Pear Pizzazz, Lost Lagoon and Smoky Slate Ink Pads

Lost Lagoon 3/8" Silky Taffeta Ribbon

Ticket Duo Builder Punch

Postage Stamp Punch

Large Polka Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Dazzling Details

Happy creating! Head over to canyoucaseit.com to submit your card and see if you can ace the case!

Hello and welcome to our Inspire Create & Share September Blog Hop! This month's theme is "Fall". Fall is definitely my favorite season of the year. I created the following card using a Project Life by Stampin' Up! 3" x 4" card from Seasonal Snapshot Project Life Card Collection in the Stampin' Up! 2014 Holiday Catalog. Makes me want to put on a sweater and get some hot cocoa!
